The Ikon Pass just went next level with the famed Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley in France added to the stable alongside America’s sweetheart, Sun Valley in Idaho and the lush Snowbasin in Utah.
But wait, there’s more.
Two new pass options have also launched with two and three day Ikon Session Passes for the 2022/2023 season. The Ikon Session Pass offers access to 37 destinations with select blackout dates and benefits. Prices start at US$249.
